EPA and NLRB Overreach in the Obama Administration

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), under Lisa Jackson, is accused of attempting to "transform the American economy" rather than simply protecting the environment. Additionally, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is fighting South Carolina over its right-to-work laws, attempting to compel unionization. These actions are cited by the Virginia Attorney General as examples of federal agencies ignoring legal boundaries to enact a specific political agenda.
